[android-developers] Re: Clear defaults programmatically
Is it even possible? No one knows this? I suppose many users don't know how to do this on their phones, because it is rather complicated to understand for non programmers. I want to give my users the option to clear defaults of my app, within my app. But how do I do this?

[android-developers] Re: Clear defaults programmatically
Thanks TreKing, this is exactly what I meant. And thank you for your tip. I already have a description of how to do this manually, but never thought about opening the manage application activity. If there is no other way I will head for your proposed work around.

For example, if you have two browsers and click a link, you can choose which to use and set one as the default so it's always called instead of giving you the choice. However, if you later decide you no longer want that activity to handle that action by default, you have to go through the preferences, select the app that is the default for that action, and hit a button to clear it as the default handler for that action. The OP wants to know if there is a way to programmatically do the equivalent of going through those steps. This has nothing to do with an app's own preferences. OP - I don't know if this is possible, but as a next best thing you could possibly tell the user what they have to do and then open the manage application's settings page for them and let them finish the process. --- -- TreKing - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered deviceshttp://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
